My Jord Watch, a piece that transcends time

Cassia in Olive and Aegean Blue Linked Here Jord Wood Watches  I’m pretty sure that as soon as your cell phone is out of contract someone hits a button that causes your phone to self-destruct.   Mine has decided to not hold a charge for long, leaving me without a clue about what time it actually is.   Being late is my pet peeve.   When I used to live in Los Angeles the traffic was unbelievable and if you left late you would never make up the time.   I can literally feel my soul ripping apart at the thought of being late. So, when JORD Wood Watches approached me to pick out a watch I was instantly relieved to have an place that the time of day could be prominently displayed.   I could almost hear Scarlet O’Hara calling out “As God as my witness, I will never be Late again.”   Some people might call that dramatic but, what do they know? 😂 Cassia Series   I didn’t know I could love a watch as much as the Cassia Series in Oliv...

The Best Makeup at the Drugstore

There are few things I love more than makeup.  It gives me confidence, makes me feel creative, and honestly gives me something to bond over with other people.  It's just makeup, it's not that serious so lets talk about some affordable drugstore alternatives that I'm obsessed with.  This I collaborated on with my lovely friend Stephanie who is @thiswellroundedlife on instagram.  She made a list as well.  Click Here to check out her page. Also Kimberly, this one is for you :) Best Foundation: Maybelline Super Stay Full Coverage Foundation (I am shade 220, Natural Beige)  $11.99 at Ulta linked Here This product is the best full coverage, stay all day foundation I can get my hands on.  It has a lovely finish.  I can literally put my makeup on at 5am and come home at 5:30 and it is still on.  The lasting power is just phenomenal.  I do have dry skin and I don't believe this shows it.  Use a small amount and blend in and the...

Trying out Two Sweet Birds Boutique

I was contacted by the lovely Tammy from Two Sweet Birds to try out a few of their products and I wanted to share them with you.  Two Sweet Birds is an online boutique featuring clothing, home decor and accessories, with a handful of beautiful items for each category.  The three items I'm reviewing our below: 1. The Daphne Rhinestone Cuff Bracelet Daphne Rhinestone Cuff Bracelet 9.99 Linked Here This gorgeous bracelet slips on easily and is very flexible.  It is extremely lightweight and is dainty enough to go with anything.  It is also Lead and Nickel Free.  I love how versitile it is that  it can dress up an outfit or just add a small sparkle to a casual look.  It is also one of the few bracelets to ever fit me.  I have a fairly small wrist and it sits nicely on my arm. 2. Cecelia Blue Embroidered Tiered Dress Cecelia Blue Embroidered Tiered Dress.  Currently on sale for 39.99.  Linked Here This dress is absolutely ...

Trying out dresses from Jen Styles Boutique

I was so excited when I was contacted on instagram by a company called Jen Styles Boutique. Not only do they have Jen in their name they had some absolutely gorgeous dresses. I was sent two dresses for my review and so I wanted to show them to you here. 1 . The Sangria Maxi Dress The first dress is an absolutely stunning Maxi. This is called the Sangria Maxi dress. I'll link it here: Sangria Dress  It has an open back where it ties at the waist and buttons at the back of the neck.  The material is very breathable and light.  The slit goes all the way up but it it pretty far over on the dress so I don't have to worry about it coming open on me if the wind hits.  Unfortunately, so many wrap dresses you have to safety pin down.  This is not the case with this one.  I am 5'4" and it is the perfect length with my two inch block heels which is the most wonderful purchase from target. I'll link them here:  A new day block heel It has a stretchy w...
